Topic: Problem ripping a DVD (Read 2595 times)

I've been able to launch a Media Director via PXE, and make it work, thanks for your advices.

Now I'm trying to watch a DVD on the Media Director, and rip it. Watching the DVD seems to go alright (the only trouble is with the image sizing, it's full screen where it shouldn't be, so the image is a bit stretched... I'm searching to fix this too.)

But when I try to rip the DVD, I choose the place where to save the ripped file, say OK and I get a message that says "You can only rip media stored on a CD/DVD drive."

you should try from a terminal /usr/pluto/bin/disk_copy to see if this works.

Ok it asks me the source to copy from, but I can't find where my DVD reader is mounted. Can you help me with that?

The strange thing is I have been able to rip one DVD, a stupid Transformers commercial DVD I received, but the other DVDs I have tried didn't work. I'm thinking if it's not because the two other DVDs I tried haven't been recognized, they are french DVDs, from Las Vegas Parano and Evil Dead 2 and they don't seem to be recognized by the player.
